Kathleen was a precious lady and an awesome English teacher and Senior class sponsor in1976. She was so talented! She played the piano at my wedding 41 years ago and had a bridal shower for me at her house in 1980. Such a gracious hostess! I loved seeing all the pictures in the video. So many precious memories! Praying for peace and comfort that only God can give for Dave and his sweet family!ðŸ™ðŸ¼ðŸ™ðŸ¼ðŸ™ðŸ¼

I worked with Kathleen for 10 years at Nemo Vista. Our rooms were back-to-back. She was a graceful, lovely, and classy lady. She was a mother figure to me my first 10 years in education. I treasure those years with her. I didn't know she was ill. I am so sorry that she has left us, and I know that she is with Jesus. I wanted to let you know that she spoke often and fondly of her kids and family. I am a better person to have known her. May she rest in love.
